Arterial bypass
Arterial bypass. Artwork of a bypass around a narrowed region of the right femoral artery (red, down centre) of the human thigh. The bypass consists of a section of the saphenous vein (blue, tied off) that was grafted onto the artery. Muscles (orange) are also seen. The lining of the artery, seen in section, has been narrowed by fatty plaques of atheroma (yellow, down centre), a condition known as atherosclerosis. Without treatment, the lowered blood supply may have caused tissue death

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library depicts an arterial bypass, showcasing the intricate details of a surgical procedure. The focus is on the right femoral artery, which has been narrowed due to fatty plaques known as atheroma, resulting in a condition called atherosclerosis. In this illustration, we see the innovative solution that medical professionals have employed to restore proper blood flow. A section of the saphenous vein, represented by its distinct blue color and tied off for grafting purposes, has been skillfully attached to bypass the narrowed region of the artery. This technique allows for improved circulation and prevents potential tissue death caused by reduced blood supply. The vibrant orange muscles surrounding the artery add depth and context to this visual representation of human anatomy. They serve as a reminder of how interconnected our bodily systems are and highlight the importance of maintaining optimal health. This artwork not only showcases medical expertise but also emphasizes various aspects related to treatment options for arterial disorders such as angioplasty and grafting procedures. It serves as an educational tool that sheds light on conditions like atherosclerosis while highlighting advancements in surgical interventions aimed at restoring vascular health. Overall, this visually striking print captures both scientific accuracy and artistic flair while providing valuable insights into cardiovascular health care practices.
